      I think he sold it really well. I particularly liked his comment about choosing films because they’re interesting to him rather than chasing sales.

    Great interview guys. Great to see these interesting titles. Petri films definitely need more bluray releases and any volonte films are most welcome. Already preordered and looking forward to the future.

    Fran, I'm desperate for Blu-ray releases of The Station Agent, Deadly Pursuit, Julia, The Chaser and Salute of the Jugger. Make it so. 😉

    Awesome interview with the most interesting guy in the physical media industry. Radiance's first slate was not aimed at me, but kudos to Fran for being a genuine trailblazer. Looking forward to their upcoming genre releases. The Keep will surely follow soon...

      Fran was as really fanatical about the films and it was infectious. I’ll probably end up buying most of them now! 😬

      @@manvfilm just a little update. Unfortunately I cannot do a tour of the Vinegar Syndrome restoration facility. Insurance reasons and spoiler reasons. If I happen to see something I shouldn't and blab it all over the internet about upcoming surprises it could blow any announcements and whatnot which I totally understand. However I was in today and got the early bird special. my guys on the inside let me have the new VSA and Amityville Horror a day before they ship and go out on the shelf and i do know that Texas chainsaw massacre 2 is being released next month. Whether that's one of the secret titles I'm not sure 100% but I believe it is. As far as Radiance. I'm not sure how I feel yet. The genres are all over the place. I'll probably pick up Miami Blues and a few others but I kind of hate these weird half sleeve/not quite j card not quite slip covers. Because what'll happen is you'll order a bunch and they'll look nice on the shelf but then you'll find one used somewhere and it'll be missing thus ruining the nice shelf presentation. I have issues I know. It should be all about the films but if it was really all about the films then we would all have our collections saved and backed up on hard drives. The package is part of the appeal of collecting and I have no problem admitting that sometimes a slip cover can make or break a purchase for me. Last week I blind bought Possession. Lol. I had heard it was good but had never seen it. Not even a trailer. Did i buy a used DVD or standard bluray. Of course not. I went straight to the Mondo Vision deluxe limited edition in the blue velvet box and I'm so glad I did because the film is amazing and I feel like I've been living under a rock. I need to check out the rest of the director's films now. Sorry for the long post. Congrats on a great interview again. Cheers.
